Nancy Ajram - What are You?نانسي عجرم - انت ايه؟Enta Eih?

"Enta eih" means "what are you," but really means like "what are you that you would behave like this" or something along those lines. It conveys the meaning of "what's wrong with you why would you do this to me" or "why are you so cruel/mean," maybe even "who do you think you are (doing this to me)". Many might also be pleased to see that the video is subtitled in English though its not quite the same one I've done.

Nancy Ajram - What are You?

What are you?Is it not enough that you hurt me?Shame on youWhat are you?Why, my love, don't my tears mean anything to you?And why do I accept that you hurt me when my soul is in youWhy am I accepting this torment in your hands?

If this is love, love causes me so much miseryAnd if I am to blame, I cannot say never againAnd if it's my destiny to live in tormentI'll live in torment

Have you no shame?Have you no shame, deceiving me with the love I have for youIsn't it a shame?The passion and the years and longing that I am living for you?Was it lost completely?Or has it been a game?Was the tenderness and my heart and faith in you all wasted?If this is love, then love is so much miseryAnd if I am to blame, I cannot say "never again"And if it's my destiny to live in tormentI'll live in torment
